Unable to speak, the saintess could only express her opposition through her facial expressions.

His hair was disheveled, but his eyes were defiant.

Xu Shi raised an eyebrow. To be honest, she was actually quite good-looking.

Previously, the saintess's veil was as if it were always on her face and had never fallen off, and I had no interest in seeing her true face.

But now that we're in a mental space, the veil seems to have been automatically filtered out, revealing a flawless face like a beautiful jade.

So it wasn't an ugly monster after all... Boss Xu muttered to himself. But that was easy to figure out. If the original plot of this land was followed, this guy would most likely be one of Luo Yu's harem members. How could he be anything less than that?

According to basic rules, even if a woman is truly ugly, she is most likely pretending, or she will encounter a fortuitous event and suddenly become an unparalleled beauty.

However, some men now have many wives, each one a beauty, so they don't find them too stunning, nor do they have any improper thoughts about doing anything to them. This is the way of the wise.

A small compliment was already the greatest respect he could give to the saintess.

After showing respect, it's time to torture them.

Given his brief part-time experience at the inspection bureau, Mr. Xu demonstrated a very professional level of interrogation skills.

"Name."

"I have no name."

...Really not?!

Xu Shi rolled his eyes and changed his question, "Do you have a number in 'Heavenly Principles'?"

"No, our purpose in being created is to monitor the corresponding area and ensure that it does not deviate too much from the predetermined plot."

Damn, this organization doesn't sound legitimate at all; it's like some kind of small workshop.

"Are there any patterns to be found in these so-called scripts?"

After a brief, sarcastic remark, Xu Shi managed to glean the hidden meaning in her words.

Just as He Yuxia had said, each experimental field was artificially constructed by "Tianli," and everything within it was pre-arranged, much like The Truman Show.

We may not nitpick every single detail, but the overall direction will never change.

"We need the 'protagonist' to rise step by step and attempt to explore ways to eliminate the effects of 'divine breath' on the entire world."

The saintess said expressionlessly, "As for how the 'protagonist' grows and rises, and what the background structure of the region is, it will be randomly selected from the database and constructed."

Xu Shi nodded slightly. This was similar to the information he had previously learned, but with some additional details.

It's no wonder that the City of Night Sin and the Hualan Empire have such different styles; they're both randomly generated, so of course they won't be the same.

It's obvious that the so-called database of "Heavenly Principle" is quite large, and setting up different backgrounds is to try more paths. For example, Night City is a technology-based city, while this one is clearly more magic-based.

Maybe there will be fantasy, martial arts, and Cthulhu elements too, who knows?

"Can't you find a solution directly using your database?"

He frowned and continued, "What if the plot deviates significantly from its intended direction?"

I cannot answer your first question.

The saintess replied, "The second question... according to the rules, will first be addressed by the 'Overseers.' If the 'Overseers' are unable to resolve it, it will proceed to the second-level judgment process, forcibly bringing it back on track."

"..."

Xu seemed to be deep in thought.

Her arrival disrupted the original plot of the Hualan Empire, forcing her, the "observer," to intervene.

That's not a problem.

However, there is a problem with the following sentence.

Because not only here, but the entire course of Night City has long been turned upside down by its own actions.

He Yuxia, as the "monitor," obviously failed to solve her own problem. Logically speaking, "natural justice" should have intervened long ago, right?

Why hasn't it happened yet? It's been almost a year since I killed that little darling Shenhe.

Although he had already considered that "Heavenly Principle" must have some control over all of this and there must be a so-called bottom line, everything he was doing now was to test where that bottom line was.

But this is not the same as what Miss Saint said. The plot of Night City has already gone too far. According to her, "Heavenly Justice" should have already given Night City a secondary assessment and smashed its iron fist, right?

unless……

"Of the people you brought, who are the 'observers' for your area?"

In a moment of distraction, the saintess temporarily escaped his oppression and eagerly asked what was on her mind.

There's no need to worry about anything else; you can tell from Xu Shi's questions that he has a considerable understanding of "the principles of Heaven."

This is also what puzzled her: people from another region came here to cause trouble, so what were their "observers" doing?

Not to mention that Xu Shi also knows so many secrets. Shouldn't this "inspector" who has betrayed the party so much have been dealt with long ago?

"I don't have any 'watchdogs' among my men."

Xu Shi glanced at her, not bothering to hide it from her, "I saw through her and locked her up, otherwise how would I know about your affair?"

"What?!"

Miss Saintess was greatly shocked, clearly not expecting this to be the case.

She herself is an "observer," so she knows that in addition to ensuring regional stability, her responsibilities also include guiding, protecting, and even dedicating herself to the protagonist.

However, all of this must be done without revealing one's identity. In order to balance these two points, the identity of the "observer" is usually that of someone very important to the protagonist.
